SlySoft releases AnyDVD update, beats new copy-protection

jellybelly reports us that SlySoft has today released AnyDVD version 4.0.4.1.
This version adds a new option that removes a copy-protection based on
unreadable sectors. More information on this can be found in the changelog
below:


AnyDVD v4.0.4.1:



  • New: Option to remove "Protection
    based on unreadable Sectors". If this option is checked, AnyDVD will
    change the .IFO files on the DVD in a way, that a copy program like
    Elaborate Bytes' CloneDVD will not try to copy the bad sectors of a DVD
    copy protection, and will be able to successfully make a
    copy.

    This makes
    it possible to create backups of Video DVDs protected with
    ARccOS copy
    protection
    .

    Protected discs with this protection include
    Wrestlemania 3+4 (UK), The Mission German, Gothika German, and others.
    Further the protection on Puppetlock type 1-3 will be removed. This
    includes titles "Jim Knopf und Lukas, der Lokomotivfé¼hrer", "Urmel aus
    dem Eis", "Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13", "Urmel im Schloss" (all German)
    and others.

    Bad sectors
    will be replaced with empty sectors, so other copy programs (e.g.,
    CloneCD 5, DVD Shrink, Nero Recode, etc.) or simple file copy with
    Windows Explorer will work, too.

    You should enable this option, if you wish to copy a
    DVD with CloneDVD, CloneCD 5 or a similar program.
